Let's build a playground together in Perth
Volunteers in Perth are raising $3,200 for a playground at the old Baobab bus depot.
🇦🇺 Western Australia, Australia790 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Baobab bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,200.
It will serve about 463 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in June and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $310
• Tools hire and delivery: $450
• Materials: $2,440
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care, Ruth. Great idea, hope you get there. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Perth!
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Perth
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal. All the best
thinking of you and your family. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
